Funny codemeter are gloating and make a big fuss the the software integrator companies like propellerheads and others:ĭo’nt make such a fuss. The internet solution is non intrusive and saves againsts loss for me at least. Losing dongles is expensive and moving dongles between computers is a an inconvenience. All runs smoooooooth just got to make sure that there are no programs installed thaty auto update (adobe, automap, other device drivers etc.) Well I have the music pc connected full time and have other plugs from sonalksis and plugin alliance that also use online verification. Ps: all that arsey gloating on the codemeter website is making me sick… > I dont mind the idea of dongle + the option of internet though. The problem for me with online verification hals always been that my DAW PC has never been anywhere near an internet connection. I hope that something like this could be implemented so protection (from a user point of view) is one less thing I need to think about when planning projects. It really is as simple as that!Īll those who have bought and supported software companies understand the needs of software protection and and Steinberg is one of the few who can say that their protection actually works. The software runs unobtrusively in the background and when Reason is launched without a dongle a prompt screen asks whether you want to run the program in demo mode or if you would like to connect to the internet to verify your license. I did consider buying another usb dongle to transfer licenses to this for when I wanted to use laptop but I have to say that seeing propellerheads method of authentication in action makes me wish that Steinberg would follow suit.

It’s great as I do move between desktop and laptop often which of course means scrambling underneath the table behind my computer to pull out my dongle.

As part of its feature set now includes licensing Activations for RA software products, it's likely they have downgraded certain CodeMeter related articles to 'Access Levels: Everyone', in line with their free Activations support policy (Free Online, Phone: Mon to Fri 8 to 5).Recently upgraded to Reason 6 which ships with a usb dongle and also an internet software verification system. I believe this may be due to the fact that when first released CodeMeter was solely a project protection feature for Studio 5000 and as such could have been classed as warranting TechConnect access only? Since then (Nov 2018), and as you have mentioned, it is now also being used as the new type of license (wibu), which superseded the original Flexera license (lic). While I did post it originally as 'Access Level: TechConnect', as that is what it was at the time (I always copy/paste), I just clicked on the link again and it now appears they've since changed it to.
